Summer has already arrived and we all want to travel and have fun. As everything costs money, we raised some easy methods to help you make extra money this summer.

1. Sign up for free trials

I’ve got 2 sites for you: Global Test Market and Prize Rebel. They both will pay you to sign up for free trials and test these items. You can also use these 2 platforms to earn extra money through taking surveys and watching videos. You can take out the money after you make a minimum of $5, lower than any sites.

2. Get paid to shop

We all do a lot of online shopping. So why not get some money back on activities that we’re already doing?

Ebates is an awesome site that will get your money back on the shopping you’re doing for yourself. You will also get a $5 bonus just for signing up.

If you’re an internet freak, scrolling for hours you might want to read more about the browsers that pay to do your searches (that you’re already doing, too). Among them is a google branch, too and other interesting ones, so why not get money for things you do?

3. Surveys

Of course, you can make money by blending several survey sites altogether. Choose your favourite 5-10 sites and play with them in your free and relaxation time for extra cash:

VipVoice: The most used site for surveys in the US, you can participate at prize contests and win electronics and $1000 prizes.

Swagbucks: Get paid to search the web, do your shopping, watch videos and other things you already do; the surveys are a bonus.

Say So for Good: Many rewards or redeem directly cash and donate to the hungry while completing surveys;

My Soap Box: a site that will link you to the best brands and help you win rewards and gift cards, along with cash.

You can find more surveys in our survey section, and THIS is our article with all survey sites available in the USA.

For example, you’ll get $1 back at a box of purchased tea, $5 back for a box of Shiner Bock beer and 25 cents for absolutely every item that isn’t listed with another amount on Ibotta.
